have you ever heard of bittorrent
It has actually working implementations, can parallelize downloads of a single file from multiple servers, has lower barrier to entry for providing a file, can work for multiple files in one, reduces impact of malicious peers, and supports web seeds
Sure why not, throw that in the tech blender too 😂
the more you think about it the more you realize bittorrent is a better choice than blossom
first, you can exclusively use web sources, and it does parallelization for you, and verifying the file
add peers and you now have censorship resistance that’s better
one big problem with blossom is that you have to download the entire file to make sure it’s actually valid
so if there’s a 1 hour video uploaded that takes 3GB at 8Mbps you need to download the entire thing or else any blossom server can tamper with it
